HP Products - My Operating System Is Not Listed

If you do not see the version of your operating system (OS) listed, HP does not have any downloadable software or drivers for your product.

Many issues can be resolved by ensuring that you have both the latest OS version supported for your HP product and the latest HP driver updates. HP recommends that you install all updates from your OS vendor.

caution:

Recently, HP has seen an increased number of third-party support websites selling HP driver downloads or diagnostic tools. Many of these websites use the HP trademark symbol and claim to be official HP distributors. If your product supports your operating system, HP offers your driver and software at no additional cost through the HP website. Use caution when dealing with any website that asks you to pay for HP driver downloads or tools that claim to diagnose your HP products. These websites might not be affiliated with HP in any way.

Do not install BIOS updates from a motherboard manufacturer's website. Only install BIOS updates from HP. Installing BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer can prevent the computer from accepting an HP system recovery. This could result in a loss of data.

note:

In addition to the options listed in this support document, you can visit the HP Support Forum to ask the support community about the software or driver you are looking for.

Microsoft Windows

The following alternative solutions might be available for your HP printer or computer:

note:

HP does not provide Windows 10 drivers on HP.com for HP computers sold prior to August 2013. Microsoft has made most of the component drivers for these products available via Device Manager once the product is running Windows 10 with an active Internet connection. To see if your HP computer was tested to work in Windows 10, go to HP Products Tested with Windows 10.

Click one of the following options, if presented, on the Windows Update window:

If updates are available to download, click Install now.

If no updates are currently listed, click Check for updates, and then click Install now after Windows detects available updates.

Restart your computer to complete the installation of the updates.

Update drivers in Device Manager

If a specific hardware component (such as the touchpad, video display, or keyboard) is not working correctly, or is missing functionality, update the component driver in Device Manager using the following steps:

In Windows, search for and open Device Manager.

Add a device in Windows

The Add a Device function on a Windows PC assists in the installation of new hardware and drivers. Go to the Search box under your Windows Start button and type Add a Device. Follow the instructions to set up or install new hardware.

Get updates from the maker of the software or hardware

Many companies provide free software and driver updates for their products. HP and Compaq computers come with a wide variety of hardware components and software titles provided by HP partners. If you are having an issue with a software title or hardware device driver and you cannot find an update from HP, try looking at the product manufacturer's website.

caution:

Only install BIOS updates from HP! Do not install BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturer's website! Doing so can prevent the computer from accepting an HP System Recovery.

Product manufacturers provide technologies used on many HP and Compaq computers. Many hardware component manufacturers have their own website with driver downloads.

note:

You can find information about your computer's hardware from the product specifications for your computer model. Search the HP Customer Support website using the name of your computer model plus the word specifications. For example, if you have an HP Pavilion HPE h8-1360t Desktop computer, search for h8-1360t specifications.

The following list provides links to manufacturer sites that provide hardware that go into HP computers:

AMD and ATI utilities and drivers (processor utilities, AMD Live!): AMD.com (in English), downloads can be found in the support section.

AirPrint: You might also want to check if your printer is compatible with Apple AirPrint. If your printer and your Mac’s version support AirPrint, then you might not require any additional software or drivers to be installed to obtain basic functionality from your device. For more information, go to About AirPrint (in English).

Chrome OS

You probably do not need to download any software or drivers from the HP website or Google to use your Chromebook. If you need a solution for an HP printer, HP provides a downloadable solution from the Chrome Web store.

HP Print for Chrome: is a plugin for the Chrome browser that allows you to print to a network connected printer.

Google Cloud Print (in English) can be used to print to many types of HP printers from Chrome.

Android and the HP AiO Remote app

Your Android device might not require additional software. If you need a solution for an HP printer, download the HP Print Service Plugin or HP AiO Remote app from the Google Play store.

Google Play Store (in English) has several apps from HP to help you with your HP product.

Linux

Chances are, your Linux computer already has the software it needs, as all major Linux distributions regularly integrate HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) into their software releases. To get the latest release of HPLIP, visit the HPLIP website.

Are there non-HP drivers available?

Sometimes, people who participate in the HP Support Forum recommend alternative drivers or workarounds that provide basic functionality for HP products not supported for a specific operating system. You can search existing forum threads for available options, or you can create a new thread, if one concerning your product does not yet exist.
